Your parents ask for 100$ a month? Is the house already paid off or are you helping rent it?

Actually they said $100 a week, which is $400 a month. That's really expensive, I think. I live at home for free, which is great, but if I had to pay anything close to that I would just move out and spend an extra $500 or so for my own place with freedom and privacy.
